Ich hoffe, ich habe damit die Werbeunterbrechungen wieder im Griff. ### 2/5 — Fun game but… *2024-01-05, version 5.16.1* The ads just keep getting longer and longer, so I’ll try something else. ### 4/5 — Great challenging game *2023-05-22, version 5.16.1* Love it ### 3/5 — Grr *2019-08-26, version 5.1.0* Almost won a game and it crashed:( ### 5/5 — Timeless *2019-06-14, version 5.1.0* Games come and go but minesweeper is timeless. I would say 60 % is skills the rest is luck. This particular version is well written and maintained, advertising is discreet and short lived. I thoroughly recommend this app. Thank you developers, nice job. Minkata ### 5/5 — Pop up ads *2019-06-11, version 5.1.0* Certain pop up ads keep popping up and there is no way to close these ads. I have to click on the ads and try to close said ads. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t. One simply stupid ad then pops up over and over. The issue is that the banner cuts off about 20% of the minesweeper puzzle and I cannot see what the banner is covering. I don’t feel that I should have to pay money to get the banner to stop covering the 20% of the mine field. ### 5/5 — Fun and Addicting *2019-06-05, version 5.1.0* This game is fun & just like the ones I played on my computer for years. I like the games that are still simple, the same as when growing up. I don’t enjoy the modern changes of the older games. ### 5/5 — Adoro! *2019-05-30* Muito bom! ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging. *2019-05-22, version 5.1.0* You better concentrate or you'll hit a mine . It'd be great if there were a replay option so you could replay a game where you accidentally blew it. ### 5/5 — Minesweeper *2019-04-19, version 5.0.0* Best game in the whole entire world ### 2/5 — Slow *2019-03-01, version 5.0.0* Having tried MANY versions of minesweeper, the common point that bothers me is the fact that they are all to slow to differentiate between flagging a mine and clearing a space. They are all to slow for me. Keep in mind that I am playing this game on an iPhone, and not a desktop with a mouse. ### 2/5 — Paid, still get advertisements. *2019-02-28, version 5.0.0* I paid the $1.99 plus $00.14 cents. I’m not sure how long it takes to register that I have paid. My bank shows that I did pay on October 15. Still getting commercials and the game wants me to pay again. If anyone has ever hit a mine on the first square played I would like to know. I have not in close to 500 games. Also at the end of most of the games lost I had to guess. The law of averages would dictate a 50/50 chance of winning. I have never won a single game under these circumstances. Simply put, this game defies math. ### 5/5 — trash *2019-01-30, version 5.0.0* trash ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too sensitive *2026-05-28, version 15.26.1* I hate this game. I go to put a bomb but it won’t take it - my finger has to be exactly center on the number and push hard or it bombs on me. You can barely touch a block unknowingly and it bombs. I know something is a bomb - try to make it a bomb and before I can - if I don’t touch it just right - it bombs and my game is over. About to give up on this game. And if it bombs - you can’t immediately start a new game - have to do an ad. I just delete the game to start over. It’s extremely frustrating - I would love the game but can’t ### 1/5 — Flagging bombs *2021-02-16, version 5.4* The way you flag a bomb is horrific Can you fix it The same motion shouldn’t do multiple tasks ### 1/5 — Bad Ads!!! *2020-06-07, version 5.3* I like the game very much, but HATE the ads to the point where I will stop playing. The ads are disgusting (ways to kill mice and bugs with pictures of dead mice and bugs?!?!?). I read other comments that say even after paying for premium, there are still ads. (Premium lists “no ads” as a benefit) All done. ### 1/5 — What is wrong? *2020-06-04, version 5.3* I played beginner and the flag did not come down. Tried the intermediate and the 2 had one flag and the 3 had two flags. I am deleting. ### 1/5 — Ads blocking playing field!! *2020-05-01, version 5.2* This app was GREAT until there are google ads that come up on the bottom of the screen and block part of the bottom line makes it hard to see. Fix it, please!! ### 1/5 — You had one job... *2019-09-03, version 5.1.0* Numbers do not accurately reflect the amount of bombs a piece is touching. A "2" can have 4 bombs touching and still be a "2" ### 1/5 — hidden mines that cannot be found *2018-10-28, version 5.0.0* exploded several mines at advanced level that should not have been there. this program is not working properly. ### 1/5 — Latest version broken on iOS 8.3 *2015-04-15, version 4.2* Sadly - this once great little app is currently broken, at least on iOS 8.3. There are frequently hangs of several seconds between touches on the screen and the app responding to input, which makes it unplayable in its present form. ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2014-04-24* Schlecht gemacht! Immer Werbung, keine Konzentration !!! ### 1/5 — It does have reviews-bad ones!! *2013-09-20, version 3.2.0* Slow and won't respond to touch properly leading to many bad results. Keeps showing squares saying 1,2,3, or 4 adjacent to bomb in spots where board is cleared and it is impossible!!! Will get rid of this. Feel deceived by it showing NO ratings when there are some. Stay away from these people. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Timeless *2026-03-14, version 15.26.1* Games come and go but minesweeper is timeless. I would say 60 % is skills the rest is luck. If y may update my review after a few more years of playing Minesweeper I now estimate to be 85% skills as it is possible to test the end game equally possible answers This particular version is well written and maintained, advertising is discreet and short lived. I thoroughly recommend this app. Thank you developers, nice job. Minkata ### 5/5 — Fun and Addicting *2024-03-09, version 5.17.1* This game is fun & just like the ones I played on my computer for years. I like the games that are still simple, the same as when growing up. I don’t enjoy the modern changes of the older games. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-03-12, version 5.16.1* Been playing this game for years. Really enjoy it … not an easy win and makes you think strategically. Not sure why I haven’t written a review before, but is my go to game. ### 5/5 — Bom *2023-02-24* Gosto de jogar , funciona direitinho e as imagens são show de bola. ### 5/5 — Very very very Good!!! *2022-10-10* 👍 ### 5/5 — Minesweeper *2021-08-10, version 5.4* Very addictive! ### 5/5 — UPDATE: “Poor score keeping” has been fixed *2020-10-04, version 5.3* Fixed and thank you! Previous review: Most scoring completions aren’t added timely and a large number aren’t added at all. Please fix this! Fun retro game though. Would give 5 stars if this simple issue were fixed. What’s the point of competing against yourself or others if the score isn’t tracked correctly?... ### 5/5 — Trump advertisements constantly *2020-03-31, version 5.1.0* This hateful, useless, treasonous arse continues to invade my space with advertisements. If this continues, I won’t keep playing the game. Make it stop! ### 5/5 — Love this game but video adds are annoying *2019-11-25, version 5.1.0* I don’t care if the game has a small banner add along the edge, but those video adds that play between games are really annoying, especially when they don’t happen every time. I’ll be enjoying some peace and quiet and the a loud as fuq video add will start playing. ### 5/5 — No dramas *2019-09-08, version 5.1.0* Pretty good game with the ads quick and no drama. Found you had to be firm with the mines or it miscoded. But the clearing of mines by pressing on a numbered square was an excellent feature. Dont remember that feature in the original. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
